My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 163: Ning Yao Got Caught

Ning Qing contemplated for a few moments and nodded her head. “This caretaker must have been acting on the orders of others. Arresting him would be of no use; we need to suss out the mastermind of it all.”

Lu Shaoming curled up his lips into a smile and waved to dismiss everyone present on the scene. He bent down by her ear to ask, “Then who do you think would be the mastermind behind all of this?”

Noticing that there was no one around anymore, Ning Qing extended her arms and hugged his neck. With a bright smile on her face, she said,” Shaoming, you are so irritating. You obviously know who am I thinking about, and you are still asking me.”

Lu Shaoming kissed her small crimson red lips and said two words, “Ning Yao?”

“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head and continued, “This cannot continue. I need to think of a plan to catch her quickly. She is at her wits’ end right now. She would certainly come up with a plan to harm me.”

Lu Shaoming had a lazy smile on his face as he said, “So?”

“So…” Ning Qing nodded her head and winked playfully. She pouted her small pink lips as she acted cutely. “Hubby, I have a plan, but I just don’t know if you would agree to it?”

“Heh.” Lu Shaoming long knew that her intelligent brain would have already concocted a plan. She was beating around the bush with him because she was afraid that he would not agree.

She was pretty aware of the situation.

“You want to ask Xu Junxi out for tea and a meal? And this will force Ning Yao to present herself then? Ning Qing, you have such ambitious dreams. Your plan yesterday involved being with Mu Yunfan for such a long period of time, and you now want to contact Xu Junxi today. Confess it now — who do you want to contact tomorrow? Why do you even involve me?” Lu Shaoming purposely had a strict expression on his handsome face.

He knew about her plan already?

Oh right; if he didn’t know, it would be even weirder then.

Such a smart and cunning man.

“Hubby, do you not agree to it? Aiya.” Ning Qing immediately stretched out her hand to touch the wound on her elbow and scrunched up her eyebrows in pain. “Hubby, not catching Ning Yao now would come to bite us later. Catching her in one swift move would be better than alerting her to our movements. If you use my methods, then I guarantee that it will work in one try. Why don’t you just listen to me just once? My elbow hurts so much, and Hubby, you can’t be by my side every moment of my life. If Ning Yao employs another person to harm me, and if I get into any danger, Hubby, you will not have a wife anymore.”

She acted coy and pouted her lips. Lu Shaoming felt his entire heart melt, and he pinched her face. “You are not allowed to interact intimately with Xu Junxi.”

Ning Qing’s eyes brightened up, and she cupped Lu Shaoming’s face and kissed him. “Thank you, Hubby. Oh yeah, Hubby is the best! He is the best at understanding!”

“Stop being glib with your tongue.” Lu Shaoming stood up, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the doors.

There were many people in the hospital corridor, and Lu Shaoming carrying Ning Qing quickly attracted many people’s attention. Ning Qing was easily embarrassed. Her two slim leg were hanging in mid air sweetly, and she said, “Hubby, put me down. Everyone is looking at us.”

Lu Shaoming did not take anyone’s gaze to heart and said, “If they like to look, let them do so. You hurt your forehead and your elbow yesterday. I am afraid that if I don’t pay attention for a moment now, you will fall down again, so I am carrying you now.”

Ning Qing felt extremely sweet inside her heart.She hooked onto his neck, looked over his shoulder, and saw a group of young girl covering their mouths, smitten with Lu Shaoming. Wow, that Uncle is so handsome…

Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows towards the direction of those young ladies and held onto Lu Shaoming even tighter. She was saying — no matter how handsome this uncle is, he is mine.

Hmph.

The two of them went downstairs. Lu Shaoming set her in the front passenger seat and helped her fasten her safety belt. “Ning Qing, what were you looking at so intently in the hospital just now?”

Once he mentioned it. Ning Qing was shy as she said, “Hehe, nothing, nothing much.”

“Dare to say nothing again?” With two fingers, Lu Shaoming pinched her small, soft, snow-white earlobe.

“Hubby, it hurts.” Ning Qing immediately cupped her earlobe and tugged it back, wanting to escape from his evil fingers. “If there’s anything you want to say, then say it properly okay. Don’t use force. I saw some small babies just now. They were very adorable, so I thought, and thought…”

“You wanted to give birth to one for me?”

Two patches of red appeared on Ning Qing’s small face. She did not object and only said gently, ” Giving birth to a baby for you is merely…a matter of time. I am anticipating giving birth to a Little Young Master Lu for you, but I am still too young now. There is also another month until the Spring Festival. I will be returning to the entertainment industry after that. I will go into investments behind the scenes and production. I will be very busy, so I will give birth to one after we wait for 2 years.”

Lu Shaoming neared her and kissed her face. “Okay, I will agree to all your plans. Hubby will be supporting all of your work.”

…

Ning Qing made a call to ask Xu Junxi out, and the two of them met at a playground.

“Ning Qing.” Xu Junxi walked to Ning Qing’s side. The girl was dressed in a short yellow fur jacket, and she had a silver buckle on her waist with a tight pair of leather pants below. Her small face was buried in a light grey scarf, and she looked attractively beautiful.

“President Xu.” Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile, and she greeted him.

There was a merry go round in front of them, and Xu Junxi smiled as he looked on. “Ning Qing, do you still remember this place?”

“Of course I remember. I loved to ride merry go rounds in the past; you would bring me to ride them every week.”

“Heh, that’s great — you still remember our past.” Xu Junxi smiled, feeling comforted, and asked, “Why did you trust me yesterday in Lin Xuemei’s condominium? You were putting your guard up against Mu Yunfan, so why did you not put up your guard against me? Maybe I had bad intentions in approaching you.”

Ning Qing’s moist eyes were sparkling bright as she said, “I do not know if President Xu has other bad intentions towards me, the only thing I know would be that President Xu would not harm me. The Xu Junxi in my memories is a big boy that is very shy and warm.The year that I turned 18, he confessed to me, and took out a rose that he had hidden behind his back with his face all red. He stuttered while he told me that he liked me, and he asked me to be his girlfriend. Ah, President Xu, you are obviously not that person anymore, but the naivety of your character has not changed; you would not pay someone to plot on and harm me.”

Actually Ning Qing worded it a little nicely. What she wanted to say was that Xu Junxi was able to be fooled by Ning Yao for 3 years, and he was too simple in his thoughts.

He would not have thought of these scheming plans, and it was out of character to do so.

Xu Junxi was won over with her words. He shrugged his shoulders as he emotionally said, “Ning Qing, actually in the 18 years that we spent as childhood lovers, I always felt very inferior because of Mu Yunfan. Mu Yunfan was better than me in every aspect, and he was handsome and a ball of sunshine. He would attract the attention of people everywhere, and I was always in his shadow. He treated you very well, and I liked you, and I was very afraid that he would snatch you away from me. That’s a big part of the reason why when I heard that you went on bed with him, I was so irritated and emotional.”

This was the biggest secret in Xu Junxi’s life. It was related to a man’s dignity, and he had always been afraid to talk about it.

Now that he said it out loud, he felt his body relax.

Ning Qing nodded her head, and she had a smile as she looked at Xu Junxi. “Although, on paper, Mu Yunfan was better than you in every aspect, but at that time, I only saw you in my eyes. I only felt my heart beat because of you. As we live on, don’t we only have to lead our lives well? Love others well, and naturally, you will also be loved.”

Lead our lives well?

That was right. It was only now that Xu Junxi understood. There was nothing to compare between people. Lead your own life well, and it would be the best if you go through life with a clear conscience.

Just like Mu Yunfan, the man he had hated and admired — wasn’t he now in a situation where flowers wither with no flowing water?

No matter how brilliant he was, it was of no use.

Only a person who was mighty and intelligent like Lu Shaoming — he was then a true winner in life.

Xu Junxi felt his feelings brighten up. The 20 years of immense weight on his shoulders was finally relieved. He lifted his eyes to look towards the sky, and he wanted to have a fresh start in life.

“Ning Qing, are you blissful now?” He thought this was the last time he could question.

“Yeah, I am blissful.” Ning Qing’s small dimples on her cheeks were partly visible, and her smile was beautiful and mesmerizing.

Xu Junxi let out a relieved smile; everything was well as long as she was blissful.

“President Xu, you did not commit a big crime. The wrong paths that you took were not too fatal. Handle Ning Yao’s matters well, and live your own life well then.”

Xu Junxi nodded his head. He would.

“Ning Qing, do you think Ning Yao will appear here?”

“She will. She definitely will. She lived in your home and was angered by your mother very much. Mu Yunfan must have made many promises for her to help Mu Yunfan carry out yesterday’s deeds. She thought it was her only way out, but she did not think that she would fail. She was already on the brink of giving up in life. The only thing she would want to see is me in misery, soo she must be nearby, keeping tabs on me, If she sees me together with you, she will probably be extremely furious.”

She understood Ning Yao well, Ning Yao was an extremely foolish person. She does not have Li Meiling as her advisor anymore, and she has a child in her belly. She doesn’t have anywhere to go to hide. She must hate Ning Qing very much, and she definitely wants her to die.

She will surely take action against Ning Qing.

“Okay.” Xu Junxi nodded his head and continued, “Ning Qing, let us go on the merry go round since we are here. Let us go on it happily one more time.”

“Sure.” Ning Qing walked towards the merry go round.

Ning Qing had just sat on the wooden horse, and Xu Junxi said, “Ning Qing, if…”

“What?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Xu Junxi hesitated, not knowing whether to continue. He smiled as he asked, “After we are done with the merry go round, where are we going?”

Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look at the sunset in the sky beside her, and she smiled as she replied, “A hotel room.”

…

In the secluded corridor in the hotel, Ning Yao adjusted the cap on her head and lowered it down. She tightly wrapped the clothes on her own body, and she was anxiously waiting for someone to arrive.

She was anxious like an ant in a hot pan. Xu Junxi and Ning Qing went to enter a room in the hotel. How could she still stay calm? She tasked a private investigator to take photos of the scene, and she wanted Ning Qing to lose all her credibility and dignity.

Ning Qing was very lucky that she was not crushed to death by the cart in the hospital, but as long as she lived on for another day, Ning Qing would not live her life in peace.

As she was waiting, that private investigator walked over in a hurry, and Ning Yao hurriedly came forward to welcome him over. “How is it? Did you manage to get it?”

The private investigator was glum, and he turned sideways. A bunch of people walked over from that direction.

Ning Qing and Xu Junxi were leading the pack.

Ning Yao’s eyes contracted, and she turned to run.

But after a mere two steps, both of her elbows were pinned down by two bodyguards, and she was caught.

Ning Qing slowly went forward and said with a laugh, “Ning Yao, don’t run anymore. These bodyguards have huge strength. Consider the child in your belly.”

The cap on Ning Yao’s head fell onto the floor after the bodyguards touched her, and her hair was in a complete mess. Compared to the Ning Qing in her yellow fur jacket, she was a wreck.

She knew that she could not run anymore; she was done for.

Ning Yao was trying to get away from the bodyguards like a crazed lunatic. She wanted to rush towards Ning Qing, and she chided her evilly, “Let go of me, Ning Qing. I want to kill you. You purposely went to open a hotel room with Xu Junxi right? You purposely tempted me to appear here to apprehend me right? How can you be so evil?”

Xu Junxi took one step forward and protected Ning Qing by his side. His expression was resolute as he said, “Ning Yao, how are you qualified to call others evil? You are the most evil person I’ve ever met! Ning Qing isn’t you. She is already Mrs. Lu, why would she book a hotel room with me? Don’t blame others for your stupidity!”

“Ha, haha, Xu Junxi, you also know that she is Mrs. Lu, but you are still protecting her like this. I still have your child in my stomach, and you allow these bodyguards to treat me like this? Whether you have a clear conscience alongside Ning Qing, you are clear about that in your heart. You two are a cunning couple!”

Xu Junxi looked at Ning Yao, who was behaving like a psycho in front of his eyes. He felt that he could barely recognize her anymore. Was this still Ning Yao who was gentle and warm, who accompanied him for 3 years while she relied on him for support?

She really hid her true self so well.

“Tape her mouth shit.” Xu Junxi told the bodyguards.

“Forget it,” Ning Qing said to stop Xu Junxi. “If she wants to scold us, let her do so to her heart’s content. There will probably be nobody around to hear her speak in the future.”

Ning Yao heard her words and she was taken aback. She shook her head and said, “Ning Qing, what do you mean by this?”

Ning Qing slowly walked forward to approach Ning Yao. She curled her lips and asked with a smile, “You kidnapped me yesterday, alongi with Shui Ling and Mu Yunfan. The courts will definitely prosecute you, and you will follow in your mother’s footsteps and spend the rest of your life inside prison.

“No, no, you obviously knew that I was doing all of these because of Mu Yunfan’s orders! He is the true mastermind; he’s the one who should be in jail!”

“I don’t care about this.Say all you want about Mu Yunfan when you’re on the stand. The judge alone will decide your fate.”

Ning Yao was like a deflated balloon. Her entire being was limp as she pathetically said, “Mu Yunfan would not allow me to say anything. How could I go against the Mu family?”

Ning Qing’s smile got even brighter as she said, “You cannot beat them, so you can only turn into a scapegoat. Actually you are clear that you are guilty. The person Mu Yunfan wants to get is me. As for you, you fed Shuiling toxic medicine and also almost killed me. You are the very clearly guilty. Heh, Ning Yao, why don’t you continue to scold me? Weren’t you scolding me very excitedly just now? Other than your mouth, what do you still have?

“I am living well. I am Mrs. Lu, and maybe Xu Junxi will lead a better life. He will look for a better girl to marry and bring into the Xu family. The child in your belly will call someone else Mom. How is that? Did you think that you’d be the one with the most pitiful ending?”

The tears in Ning Yao’ eyes poured down her face. No, she did not want to go into jail. She did not want to go that evil, eerie place.

The position of Mrs. Xu was supposed to be hers.

“Ning Qing, it is all your fault. You that caused me to be like this…”

“Was it really me who made you come into this predicament?” Ning Qing interrupted her and continued, “You’re at this point today because of your own actions. All of it is because of one word: greed!”

Greed?

Ning Yao shook her head in a daze. No, it was not like that.

“Ning Yao, actually, there were many opportunities for you to repent. You had such a good life. Your mother paved a good road for you, and you could choose to be a smart, obedient daughter, but you did not. You went to America for 3 years, and if you hadn’t been greedy and returned back to the country, you would already be Mrs. Xu. You returned to the country and use the scar on your forehead to hold onto Xu Junxi, and you could totally nest beside his side and accompany him, but you did not stop with your greed, and you exposed yourself.

“After that, your mother went into jail, and you got pregnant. Xu Junxi did not want you anymore. You hoped for a male heir, and if you had kept silent and controlled your greed, you still could have lived peacefully. You escaped when you failed, and if you did not think of harming me, then I would not have ruined your life due to the child who has been in your belly for 5 months now!”
